Hi there,
So Jesus plainly said "pray that you be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass and to stand before the Son of Man" (gospels, from memory). But are people praying that? I don't think so! Not continually anyway. This is serious! This is life-changing! Stand with me and pray. Pray that people pray, pray that people keep praying. How are we going to escape if we don't keep asking to escape? How are we going to stand, if we don't keep praying that we stand? You have years and decades left to commit to prayer - even if the rapture and the tribulation never happen in your lifetime. After all, Jesus said "everyone will be tested with fire, every sacrifice seasoned with salt" (gospel, from memory) - that means something is going to affect you, whether its specifically the rapture or the tribulation or not. At least if you've prayed, you've learned to see it coming, learned to lean in to the struggle. Won't you be rewarded in Heaven, if your words ended saving those who later were tested, the way the Bible promised?
You are not going to get the experience necessary, unless you pray: please pray!
"Dear Lord, I pray that I be counted worthy to escape the things to come, and to stand before You, the Son of Man, in Jesus' Name Amen."
Thanks.
